People always say “it was nothing” when in fact they did something extraordinary. Cindy – your “it was nothing” has molded so many people into the strong and successful leaders they are today.

Cindy joined 4-H in 1969 at the age of nine. She was a member of the horse and beef projects. Her first year in 4-H she participated in a Livestock Judging Contest and won first place in her age category – that’s when she remembers being hooked!

Cindy was a member until she aged out at nineteen and was a Lassen County Ambassador her junior year in high school.

Cindy’s favorite memory of 4-H as a kid was attending the County Fair. You see, social media was not a thing, and very few Lassen County 4-H’ers had a landline phone. Their social event of the year was coming to the fair!

The current Head Start Building by the Grandstands used to serve as a dormitory during fair time. If you lived outside a certain mile radius you were able to stay all week in the dorms and tend to your livestock!

Cindy also has fond memories of participating in the night horse show at the fair where she once had a Champion Pole run off until midnight and she won Champion by a three second lead.

Cindy’s true passion is for the beef projects, and she has served many local youths in this arena. Cindy very rarely talks about herself and if you didn’t know someone who knew – you’d never know that her and her husband have more National Titles than I could list in this article.

Cindy has employed and trained numerous youths throughout her cattle career in the areas of feeding, operations, fitting, etc. that have all gone on to either own cattle companies, be livestock judges, professional cattle fitters, and even successful entrepreneurs.

In 1995 Cindy became the second female EVER to show a Grand Champion on the green shavings at the North American Livestock Exposition with the National Polled Hereford Grand Champion Bull. For the non-livestock folks that’s the Olympics of livestock shows!

The list of accomplishments goes on and on from across the United States and into South America.

Cindy has been a 4-H Leader for over 25 years. She started as a leader with Lake 4-H and then moved to Standish 4-H Club. She has been the leader for the livestock judging projects, leadership, and beef cattle. Cindy enjoys nothing more than watching youth members she has coached and mentored go on and be successful in their own right.

The responsibility, sense of pride, and goal setting that 4-H teaches are things she says are invaluable. Cindy is the current 2022/2023 4-H Ambassador Advisor and 4-H Council President.

Welcome to the Lassen County 4-H Hall of Fame Mrs. Weimer! Onward and upward!
